Chapter 102 The Temple of the Son of Heaven in the Past Dynasties

The Xiongnu temporarily abandoned the attack on the Qilian Mountains and turned to the Great Wall in the north.

Although there is the Great Wall on the line from Yunzhong to Liaodong, there are also many Qin people living in the periphery of the Great Wall, Hu people and Huns who have returned. Compared to the mysterious Qin army in Qilian Mountain, where they didn't even know what kind of shadow they looked like, they were more familiar with the area in the clouds.

April of the third year of Qin II.

After the banner and the song of the Four Classics had been implemented throughout Daqin, I began to think about how to continue to win people's hearts.

Xianyang Palace, court meeting.

"Bai Chong, how far has Afang Palace been built before?"

Everyone looked at each other, and there was a little strange for a while.

Previously, it was I who overrode public opinion and ordered the suspension of the repair of Afang Palace and Lishan Mausoleum. It's been three years now, so why bring it up now?

"Back to Your Majesty. Before the shutdown, only the main hall and three or four side halls of Afang Palace were ramming the earth, and the other palaces and pavilions had not yet started construction. When the repair was stopped, the rammed earth of the main hall and several side halls was only less than half. ”

I nodded: "Edict: Rebuild Afang Palace!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they all began to wonder if I had awakened the blood of Yingzheng's hard work and money......

Li Si's brows furrowed. After three years of recuperation, the population of Daqin has now reached more than 40 million. It can be said that Daqin has just stabilized and started to get on the right track, could it be that His Majesty has begun to indulge in fun?

looked left and right, he was the right prime minister, and if he didn't open his mouth, I was afraid that no one would dare to admonish.

ruthless, Li Si said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, the minister is brave, wasn't it His Majesty who was sympathetic to the people and ordered the repair of the Afang Palace to be stopped?" How can I ...... now?"

I smiled.

"Li Xiang is not in a hurry, I haven't finished my words yet. The rebuilt Afang Palace only repaired the main hall and the sacrificial palace room, which was just enough to make use of the rammed earth of the surrounding side halls, and the area was reduced by half compared to before. ”

"Afang Palace is no longer called Afang Palace, it is renamed the Temple of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, and it is regulated by the same temple as the Great Qin Sect. Among them, the Son of Heaven of Pangu, Wa Huang, Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties are enshrined. My Emperor Daqin sacrificed heaven and earth in the same way after the annual Great Dynasty meeting, and worshiped the Temple of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties. ”

"At the same time, there is no ban on the Temple of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, and anyone who wants to worship can enter."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

If you want to say that you want to worship Pangu, Emperor Wa, and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, it is understandable, after all, it is the ancestor of China. But I haven't heard of the sacrifices to the previous dynasty, the Shang destroyed the Xia, the Zhou destroyed the Shang, and the current dynasty never had the tradition of setting up a temple for the previous dynasty.

"Do you know what I mean?"

Li Si and Feng Zheng were the first to wake up, and when I decided to implement the Great Qin National Flag and the Four Classics Song, they were there, so I could naturally associate the connection between these two things.

Li Si had just opened his mouth to admonish, and he was worried in his heart, so he hurriedly bowed and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!" I set up the Great Qin Dynasty in Zhou, the former Xia Shang, the former Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and Panguwa Emperor. I worship the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, with the intention of making everyone in the world know that Qin is orthodox and socially harmonious. ”

Feng Zai agreed: "Not bad. Let those people with different intentions in the world see how open-minded and courageous my Great Qin Emperor is! ”

I nodded and said solemnly: "I set up the Temple of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, with the intention of making everyone in the world know: Huaxia is unified, and it is as endless as a line!" Regardless of Xia Shang or Zhou Qin, anyone who intends to tear up the soil of China will be punished! ”

When everyone heard this, a heroic feeling suddenly rose in their hearts.

From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present Great Qin, the inheritance of the Chinese family has lasted for more than 3,000 years, and they all said in unison: "The ministers agree to set up the Temple of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties." Your Majesty Long live! Great Qin 10,000 years! ”

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to Bai Chong, and he will make a public announcement in the world and gather craftsmen and people. Now there is not much difference between conscription and normal work, not only is there a salary, but the imperial court will also provide a meal every day, and it is expected that there will be a cloud of followers. ”

In addition, at the same time, the head of the world was informed that anyone who intended to donate money and materials for the construction of the Temple of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties would be recorded in the Shaofu Office. When the Temple of the Son of Heaven is completed, I will erect a monument for them at the gate of the temple to record their origins and names, and the Temple of the Son of Heaven will last forever! ”

In ancient times, this method was so effective that many people sacrificed their lives for the sake of making a name for themselves, let alone donating a little money or goods. One of my tricks is to reduce some of the burden on the imperial court, and the most donated at that time must be officials and wealthy merchants, which is equivalent to collecting taxes in disguise; Second, let as many people participate as possible, so that the effect of winning people's hearts will be much better.

As for whether the rich are willing to donate, it depends on their consciousness and Bai Chong's ability to execute......

After thinking for a while, I looked at my uncle and grandson.

"Uncle Sun Tong, how is Sima Li doing in the Hundred Schools Palace?"

Of the three people who were inspected last year, Wei Chi has been able to take charge on his own, and Xiao Wu has already been the county guard of Changsha County, but this Sima Li is still in the Hundred Schools Palace. I think this person is a bit evil, and he has been put in the Hundred Schools of Science Palace without using him.

"Back to Your Majesty, since Sima Li became a doctor to be edicted, he has been leading the revision of the three classics of Zongheng, Mo, and Fa in the Hundred Schools of Learning, and his performance is quite excellent."

"Oh? He doesn't have any complaints? ”

Shouldn't someone like him feel like he wasted his talent by repairing books?

"Back to Your Majesty, no. He was quite attentive in the matter of repairing books, and now all kinds of classics have been transcribed, all of which are transcribed from bamboo slips to paper records, and the missing parts have also been repaired, among which Sima Li has made the best progress. ”

"The texts have almost been transcribed? So fast? ”

Since the establishment of official schools in various places, many people have been transferred from the Baijia School Palace to various places to serve as doctors and gentlemen, and I thought that the progress of the revision of the book would be delayed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is expected to be completed before the Great Dynasty meeting this autumn."

I nodded, deep in thought.

If the revision of the book is completed, there will be no reason for the Hundred Schools of Science Palace to gather so many people, and now is not the time to use Confucianism.

But now I'm not afraid of anyone turning against me. The purpose of the Hundred Schools of Science Palace has long been known to everyone, and with my current prestige, as long as I do not propose the appointment of Confucianism with great fanfare, it will not attract too many opposition.

It's just how to deal with this Sima Li.

This man really has some talents, and if I let him go back to the countryside, I am a little unwilling, as if I were jealous of his talent.

After thinking about it for a long time, I made up my mind and raised my head to look at my uncle and grandson.

"When the matter of the school palace is over, order Sima Li to go to Changsha County, isn't there still a lack of Linxiang County county order? Xiao Wu and he went out of the Hundred Schools Palace, and the two could also support each other. ”

Xiao Wu is a person with the same personality as Li Si, and looking at Li Si's popularity in the court, he knows that it is unlikely that Xiao Wu will form a party in Changsha County. Linxiang County is close to Xiang County, and it is much more reassuring to have Wu look at him for me.

And I have a hunch that he is a person who can be compared to Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang is the imperial history of Jiangnan Province, and these two people may collide with different sparks when they are together.

Maybe I'm too careful, how much of a threat can a person who is unknown in the troubled times when there were many heroes at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Let's hope my sixth sense is wrong! ’
